169 Bar

169 E. Broadway (btw Pike & Rutgers)

NYC, NY 10002(646) 833-7199

Bathroom situation
- 2 single-person R. Kelly sex tapes just past the bar on the left. 1 M
& 1 W. Grimey as "I don't know what." Commenters, what do you think
was going on in the bathrooms at the Oscars? Other than the obvious,
obvs. The obvious obviously being yard stick lines of that yola and BJs.
Takes credit cards? - yeah, they got that. Oh, pro-tip:
having your credit card company check your credit score somehow lowers
your credit score. Kenan Thompson, what's up with that?!Crowded on weekends? - jumpin jehosaphat, yes! This is the only halfway decent bar in like a 3-block radius (other than Clandestino, obvs), so it's known to get saucy. Seating
- 10 or so seats at the bar, some tables and 3 or 4 booths in the front
room and some sofas in the back room. Still and all, you will be
standing, so be sure to wear your comfortable Louboutins. Speaking of
which, can we talk about how fucking pug fugly these Louboutins is? On
some Lee Bowery shit. With his(?) overrated ass. Neighborhood
- like how that huge ice wall in Game of Thrones separates civilization
from those blue-eyed wildebeast muthafuckas. 169 is right on the border
of the LES and God-knows-what-the-fuck-is-going-on-over-there.Pretentious/assholes - yeah, but hey, everybody's got a story. Cost of Stella - fuck, whatever, just give me that delicious. What time people start showing up -
Visceralist got here at like 11:30pm on a recent Saturday and the crowd
was fairly robust but not snakepit in Raiders of the Lost Ark. TVs? What's on -
Btw, it's cool that Octavia Spencer got her due and Viola Davis was the
real winner like everyone knows she really won, but fuck, Black people
can only win when they're getting fucked over or evil? Still? We got a
black man in the white house and Colin Firth's winning for reading some
lip service someone else wrote for him and Sandra's winning for being
condescending, and the brothers and sisters still have to
dklj;afdkl;ajdkf fuck! Not that the Oscars should be the arbiter of
anything, but damn. Guy:girl ratio - Angelina's right leg. Toys - pool table with the illegal leopard print and everything!Age of clientele - it's a cheap LES bar. Space for dancing? - the last time Visceralist was here, they had a chick doing some burlesque pole dance with a tip bucket in front of her. Music medium, style & volume - being a music snob is fucking terrible. Being a comedy snob is ok. Specials or most popular drink
- yo, check out Kris E's Yelp review of this place. The owner fucking
ethered him(?) for showing up late. So fucking ill. Co-sign.
